The Twitter opportunity might not last forever so grab it now while you can.
If you don't have the budget for a big dollar (or even a low dollar) AdWords campaign then you are best to start generating leads using Twitter.
Now, it's important to understand that Twitter does not really want their site used as a marketing vehicle, they want it to be an interactive, mini-instant messaging, conversational site where we build relationships.
Personally... I think Facebook is a much better venue for building friendships, so ask your Twitter friends to join you on FB. Those who want to be your friend will join you.
Here's where to become "my friend" on Facebook:

I don't know what Twitter's business plan is, I don't know how they make money, I don't even know if they are making money and I certainly don't know if Twitter will continue in it's present form.
But here's what I do know: Right now, today, you can use Twitter to generate several hundred leads a day for your business and you can ask them to subscribe to one of your autoresponder lists... and lots of them will.
Now you're really building your business. You can download your autoresponder leads to your hard drive and that is your property forever.
To find out how to do that I suggest you get my FREE book:
"How to use Twitter to Explode Your Business Online"

It truly is f.r.ee and there are no strings attached. Of course I'm in business so there are two tools that will help you immensely that I tell you about at the end, but there's no obligation to spend any money - that will be your choice.
So here's the program: "10 Sure fire Steps to Online Success"
1. Get my free book: http://bit.ly/2Gr7CB
2. Follow the step-by-step instructions on how to start and build your Twiter presence.
3. Preferably get a website and an auto-responder.
I use GoDaddy for my websites: http://bit.ly/a6mth
and AWeber for my Auto-responder: http://bit.ly/3HHZs1
4. Now start to send Tweets every day! I think you can safely send Tweets every 2 hours without alarming the Twitter bots but they are changing the rules every day so I can't promise this. I know I've had a couple of hard slaps for over Tweeting when I was testing their limits, so I take this seriously.
We want to be responsible entrepreneurs... we don't want to be offensive spammers.
5. Send Tweets that offer affiliate products or your own product: preferably via an opt-in page so you can add your site visitors to your auto-responder list, but otherwise link directly to your Affiliate Sales link. You can host hundreds of opt-in pages on the same website for $4 a month at GoDaddy.
6. Send Tweets about your Funded proposal.
Here's the one I use:

7. Send tweets with some personal info, humour or inspirational quotes.
8. Never send Tweets about your MLM opportunity - it's a real turnoff.
9. Start a Blog and send Tweets about posts you have made on your Blog.
Don't worry about your MLM - have some patience - people will be drawn to you and ask to join you.
Remember your primary goal is to build your list - if you make some sales along the way then that's an added bonus.
10. Recycle every thing - I will make a video of this message and post it on YouTube, I'll probably do an article, I'll post it on my Blog and I'll send it to my auto-responder lists.
That's all off the top of my head right now. There's lots more but this will get you started.
Let's Keep on Winning

How to Make your Squeeze Page Sell-Create a Strong Call to Action
If not the single most important element on your sales
page, then it's right up there with having a powerful
headline. There's no point getting visitors to your site if
they don't know what to do. If your visitor is confused
about what action you want them to take, they will get lost
in the confusion and leave.
Your sales copy must compel your visitors to action! And
it should be the action you desire. That's the whole
purpose of your sales page.
You don't get to have any personal interaction with your
potential buyers; you can't answer their questions and
handle their objections on the web. Your sales copy needs
to stand in for you… take your place; it has to do that job
on your behalf.
It's a vital role!
Your sales copy needs to tell your visitors what you have
to offer (your "feature" statement); it has to explain how
using your product will improve your visitors lives (your
"benefit" statement) and it has to create "value" in the
minds of your potential buyer. They have to feel that what
they will be getting is a bargain. If you can create strong
emotion around this…even better.
If your visitor can sense that you have their best
interests at heart, you have won half the battle. If your
sales copy is too slick and pushy you will turn them off.
Ninety-five percent of humans don't like to be sold. And
the five percent left are other sales people.
So speak directly to your visitor; let them know you
understand their needs. Let them know that providing
service and value is important to you.
You know the difference between "Features" and "Benefits"?
Features tell the reader what you have to offer. Benefits
are much more powerful… they tell them how your offer will
create a positive change in their lives.
A feature-benefit statement would go something like this:
This car has a smooth ride, but not too smooth. You wont
feel the bumps in the road but you'll still get the benefit
of great cornering!
Let your sales copy tell your visitors how your product or
service will be of benefit to them… and be sincere… no
smoke and mirrors! Make sure that what you are offering
will in fact live up to your promises or there won't be any
repeat business.

explosive growth in their MLMs?

How To Generate Traffic Using A Squidoo Lens
Here's a great article by Diego Norte
What about Squidoo? Is it alive and well or has Twitter taken over?
Another way to market your business is to use social networking sites. Squidoo, just one of many, is considered a social networking site, however from an internet marketing perspective it is vastly different from the others. One key difference is that, Squidoo lets you sell blatantly without the worry of someone shutting you down. Another unique feature of Squidoo is it an adult social networking site. Thus, making it a great place to market your business as well as interact with other home internet business owners.
Squidoo allows you to create what's called a lens, which is basically an information portal about any topic you want. Squidoo also allows you to sign up and create as many lenses and categories as you want. You can very easily use these lenses to drive targeted traffic to your home internet business sites.
Once you have finished creating your lenses and specifically targeted to your home business niche, you then start socializing with other like minded marketers on this social networking site.
The secret to succeeding in using Squidoo is to provide information that is not only good information, but helpful information to people in your niche who are eager to receive that information. By using a good landing page you can effectively market as well as drive targeted traffic to your home-business opportunity. If you are already a respectable internet marketer then people will be more willing to buy an affiliate's product based on your recommendation.
How To Generate Traffic Using A Squidoo Lens
1. It is vitally important to put your main targeted keyword in your lens title. This is because lenses are pages and they can therefore rank in the search engines like your legitimate home internet business home page.
2. Choose a URL for your lens with your primary keyword. Do remember this, as it will help your search engine rankings too, because that URL is what you'll link to from other places.
3. Tag your lens with other long tail keyword. Look for the Squidoo lens creation wizard to give you the chance to do this when you first set up your lens.
4. One of the most important things you should remember is to add an RSS feed so as to make your lenses popular with search engines. There's a Squidoo module for RSS feeds, and search engines just love that kind of unique, frequently changing content.
5. Update you lens several times a week at minimum. You don't need to make major changes but quick and easy ones, just tweaking a little here and there and click publish. Although an RSS feed will help this, it is equally important that you also add hot new content in your lens.
6. When Squidoo masters recommend you to create many lenses, they actually meant create more specialized lenses based on long tail keywords in your niche. As you would already have a list of your keywords for your niche, you should start to dominate them. If you have a lens on work at home business, for example, you could create a more specialized lens call Work At Home Business For Retirees.
7. Link your related lenses to each other. This is a good technique as it is known to be good traffic building tip. You also build more links and more links means more visitors which ultimately gives you a higher ranking for your Squidoo lenses.
8. Use your lens like it's your blog and link to your legitimate home internet business sites. This is such an easy yet powerful technique. Search engines love Squidoo and so links from a high-ranking lens to your work at home business site can really boost your traffic.
9. Remember that Squidoo is firstly a social networking site so get sociable by visiting other internet marketer's lenses to give comments on their guest book. This also gets you one way links which generate traffic for you too.
10. Now, the trick to Squidoo is to not only have proper keywords in your lens, but to add many keywords to your lens. If your lenses sells a product, more traffic translate to more sales. You can check out what keywords people are typing in the search engines to arrive at your lens and easily add those keywords to your list.
11. Here is the final secret you an use. Mark your lens useful. One good way to make your lens useful is to present your information as a "how-to" lesson within your topic. This helps you build a good lens and your audience finds what they are looking for easily.
Okay! So now you've got your leads... what are you going to do with them?Here's the best kept secret in Online Marketing
